The Muslim American Society wishes to impose sharia law in the United States. Sure, they want to adopt Islamic law peacefully, through democratic means, but I'm sure that will be of little consolation to the first woman stoned to death for adultery or the first cartoonist beheaded for blasphemy.

So when it's Virginia, Dr. Esam Omeish, leader is appointed to a panel on immigration, then you bet I'm outraged. LGF has much much more.

Inshallahshaheed is back and with some advice for Muslims:

Many of these youths who have fallen in love with warfare for Allah’s sake have been asking as to how to support the Jihad, which is now global, in an era where a spy is your next door neighbor....

Yesterday, the Imaam would call to Jihaad and over a million Mujaahideen would show their faces. Now we have delicate situations where that type of leadership does not exist - although it is around the corner - and the situation of each Muslim varies....

So, what does the young Muslim do who cannot actually join terrorist organizations in Iraq, Afghanistan, & Algeria?

It would be foolish for one to say that the Global Jihaad is not in need of finance. Money is what runs the Jihaad and without it, you’ll end up having men fighting with their fists instead of their rifles. In fact, the role of financing the Jihaad is so important that it is ongoing; it is a process which will never stop till the Day of Judgment.

Ever since the creation of As-Sahab Media, we have been able to see the great need for waging the media war. If it wasn’t for As-Sahab Media - the founding father of the Jihaadee Media of this century - our task would become very difficult in the face of the current godless Media war......

So for instance, it comes as no surprise when we see those who are brainwashed by the Western media sources to say, “Usaamah bin Laadin has killed thousands of innocents…” and “the Mujaahideen kill innocents in ‘Iraaq and Afghanistan everyday…” and “the Mujaahideen are the true terrorists because they don’t want Democracy…”

So, how can I help the global jihad?

And by media, we don’t simply mean a visual interface, but an all-encompassing implication including audio, fataawa, books, forums, magazines, articles, websites, blogs, pictures, and more.

You can read more of Inshallahshaheed's gems at his blog here. I promised never to link him again, but since he left Black Flag, Howie, and me such nice comments--- I figured we sort of owed him one.

I'm sure I'll be attacked as a "moonbat" and an "Andrew Sullivan clone" for echoing criticism of George W's latest dumb idea, but here you go:

President Bush has demonstrated his willingness to stand alone internationally. Yet for little better reason than go-along, get-along multilateralism, the administration is now pushing the Senate to ratify the Law of the Sea Treaty, which was just unanimously voted out of Richard Lugar's Senate Foreign Relations Committee. At a committee meeting in February, Lugar noted a wide range of support from American interests "for U.S. accession to be completed swiftly." However, the treaty is a flawed document, and there would be serious costs from accepting it.

The Law of the Sea Treaty originated in the 1970s as part of the United Nations' redistributionist agenda known as the "New International Economic Order." The convention covers such issues as fishing and navigation, but the controversy arose mainly over seabed mining. In essence, the Law of the Sea Treaty was designed to transfer wealth and technology from the industrialized states to the Third World.

Two decades ago, President Ronald Reagan ignored criticism of American unilateralism and refused to sign the treaty. U.S. leadership caused the Europeans and even the Soviet Union to stay out. Many Third World states eventually acknowledged the treaty's many flaws.

But treaties attract diplomats as lights attract moths. The first Bush and Clinton administrations worked to "fix" the treaty, leading to a revised agreement in 1994. Washington signed, leading to a cascade of ratifications from other countries. GOP gains in Congress, however, dissuaded the Clinton administration from pushing for ratification. Now George W. Bush has stepped in where Bill Clinton feared to tread.

And by all the way gay, I mean flaaaaaming! Here's an image being used at a French jihadi forum to announce an al Qaeda in Iraq video showing the murder of five prisoners.

Not only did CBS News anchor Katie Couric publicly confess her gross bias against the Bush administration, she implicated all the other "journalists" at the National Press Club [emphasis added]:

“Everyone in this room would agree that people in this country were misled in terms of the rationale of this war,” said Couric, adding that it is “pretty much accepted” that the war in Iraq was a mistake.

ADDENDUM (Good Lt.): For Bo and posterity, here's a video of a half dozen or so leading Democrats (Albright, Clinton, John Edwards, Pelosi, Biden, Bayh, Berger, Rockefeller, Harry Reid, etc.) 'being misled' ... by themselves and their intel in 1998 and beyond.

Youssif's surgeon, Dr. Peter Grossman, has started putting in the permanent skin grafts which will help heal the damage done to the child's burned face. Dr. Grossman should know by the end of the week if the grafts are successful. Via CNN:

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- "Don't be afraid, I'm just going to get my operation done and then I'll be home with you."

Those are the words of 5-year-old Youssif to his mother the night before his second surgery.

The next morning Youssif was wheeled into the operating room, tightly clutching his father's hand and crying slightly, but putting on a brave front.

Youssif's second surgery lasted three hours. A team of surgeons, led by Dr. Peter Grossman, Monday removed the temporary cadaver skin they had placed Thursday on Youssif's scarred face. They replaced the skin with a full tissue skin graft taken from Youssif's abdomen.

Grossman said that before the end of the week he will have an idea whether the grafts have taken, but doctors will not know for another couple of weeks whether the grafts are surviving.

For now, Youssif will have respite from the operating table, but the long process of healing this horribly scarred child is in its initial stages. Insurgents in Baghdad doused Youssif in gasoline and set him on fire early this year.

"He'll go through a period of time now which will allow him to heal," Grossman said. "We've done a lot of surgery on him in the last week, and we want him to rest up a bit, but starting probably the week after next we'll begin the expansion process."

The expansion process involves gradually inflating tissue expanders -- balloon-like modules -- that were inserted in Youssif's right cheek and under his chin on Thursday. Saline will inflate the balloons to create extra skin over the next few months. The doctors will then use the skin on Youssif's scars.

Continued prayers for Youssif and his family, and for the medical team that is working so hard to give this little boy a chance at a normal life.

USAID

45% of Yemeni kids under age five are underweight.

Yemen is tied for the highest rate of child malnutrition globally with Afghanistan,
In contrast, 3% of kids under five in the Palestinian Territories are underweight.
Maybe the Palestinians can start collecting money for Yemeni kids.

Many people assume the highest child huinger rate is in sub-Saharan Africa, but no, Yemeni kids are the hungriest in the world.

Yeah, but will they finally stop marketing the extra-large athletic supporters to white guys? Market Watch:

Nike unveiled Tuesday what it said is the first shoe designed specifically for American Indians, an effort aiming at promoting physical fitness in a population with high obesity rates....It will be distributed solely to American Indians...Nike said it is the first time it has designed a shoe for a specific race or ethnicity...

Looks evil, loves al-Qaeda, who knows?

Via The Blotter: A suspect sought by the United States for allegedly plotting to establish a terror training camp in the northwest United States was extradited from the Czech Republic to the United States, where he arrived today.

Oussama Kassir, a Lebanon-born Swedish citizen who is an alleged associate of Abu Hamza al Masri, the radical cleric currently jailed on terror-related charges in Britain, was arrested on Sunday in the Czech Republic after a court ruled there was no reason to refuse a 2006 U.S. extradition request.

In August, an American credited with a key role in the terror training camp scheme pleaded guilty to terrorism charges n federal court in New York. James Ujaama, a Muslim convert from Seattle, admitted he tried to set up the camp in Bly, Ore., in 1999 and had informed Abu Hamza that he and others were stockpiling weapons and ammunition in the United States. The charges carried a potential prison sentence of up to 30 years.

I love Osama bin Laden

We hope that you dislike your stay in prison just as much, if not more than your buddy Abu Hamza.

The media arm of the The Islamic Front for the Iraqi Resistance (aka JAAMI) have produced an 18 minute long propaganda film called "SMS 2 US". The video shows a series of images along with text messages to the US from the group.

The message of the film seems to be "We R Gay. R U Gay 2?"

Tell me this isn't flaming........

Okay, actually the video is supposed to be a long message urging the U.S. to go home. It's all in English. It even features music from Jurassic Park & ET.

The video is being served from this website operated by the Baathist insurgents:

UPDATE 9/27/07: PWND! Thanks to Yahoo! for the prompt response. The main Jaami website, though, continues to operate as of this writing. Scroll down for details.

http://www.sms-2-us.com

And guess who runs the server? Yahoo!

http://www.sms-2-us.com = 216.39.58.199
AltaVista Company (Owned by Yahoo!)
network-abuse@cc.yahoo-inc.com

And since we've already PWND so many JAAMI websites, might as well get their main site taken down too.

jaami.info = 87.106.11.221
Schlund (Germany)

First I have to stop watching Mel Gibson movies because I am Jewish, and I refuse to support anyone who hates me because of it.
It would follow that I had to stop supporting the other half of the "Lethal Weapon" team, when Danny Glover began cozying up to Venezuelan dictator, Hugo Chavez.
And now, yet another of my favorite actors has gone over the wall, meeting privately with Hugo Chavez for three hours yesterday.

Why couldn't Kevin Spacey have just stayed on K-PAX, so I could continue enjoying his films in good conscience?

How does one send a message to a jailed terrorist? Easy, you send him greetings via the radio. At least, that is how the followers of Omar Bakri Mohammed would like you to do it.

It seems that there is a radio show in the UK called Radio Ramadhan in which the messages are being sent. A webpage run by Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah--what Bakri Mohammed's followers are calling themselves these days--encourages Muslims to send messages:

YOU CAN SEND MESSAGES TO THE BROTHERS IN BELMARSH [prison] VIA RAMADHAN RADIO TO WHICH THEY ALL LISTEN EVERY NIGHT. THE NUMBER IS 07907 222 531. THE NUMBER HAS BEEN TESTED AND THE MESSAGES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED IN BELMARSH [prison] ALHAMDULILLAH.

YOU CAN ALSO TEXT THE RADIO STATION.

PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THE MUSLIMS BEHIND BARS IN YOUR DU’AAS [prayers].

We know messages are being sent in to the jihadis via radio, and we also know that letters are coming out of jail from the jihadis----am I the only one that thinks this is troubling?

It seems that my "buddy" Yousef al-Khattab--the man formerly known as Joseph Cohen--showed up outside of Columbia University yesterday. What did the Jew who converted to Islam have to say? "Nuke Israel".

You'll notice Yousef's shameless self-promotion on the sign.

Like I said before, he claimed to be in Morocco but he's actually living in New York. And he's not just another Muslim, he actually supports al Qaeda.

That's right, an al Qaeda follower in New York City. I wish I could say he was alone, but he's not. He's affiliated with the followers of Omar Bakri Mohammed who has an organized following in NYC called The Islamic Thinkers Society.

Watch. Your. Backs. more...

Posted at The Brody File (quoting Dr. Land):

I’ve received phone calls and emails from Southern Baptists about Senator Thompson. They are all furious at Doctor Dobson. They just feel that first of all there was a mischaracterizing of his positions. Do I wish that he supported the marriage protection amendment? Of course I do. To say that he is for 50 different views of marriage in 50 different states is a gross mischaracterization of his position... he problem with these cotton picking conviction politicians is that they follow their convictions and Fred Thompson has been for a long long time a very staunch federalist and it’s hard to convince conviction politicians to change their minds.He also comments on Fred's church attendance record:

[D]o I wish that he attended church every Sunday? As a Baptist pastor, of course I do. But does that make him a person of unbelief? That’s harsh and unwarranted.

H/t : Allah.
